We have effective tools to take good care of ourselves if we get COVID-19.
COVID-19 treatments are safe, free, widely available, and highly effective at preventing COVID-19 illness from becoming serious.
Benefits
○ Scientific evidence shows that COVID-19 treatments work to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19 by up to 50-88% (cut the risk in half or more)
○ Early evidence also suggests they may lower the risk of developing long COVID symptoms.
○ Treatments like the Paxlovid pill can also prevent the virus from multiplying in your body and infecting more of your cells, which can help you test negative sooner.
They’re available at no charge, regardless of whether you have insurance or your citizenship status
They are recommended for most adults and some teens.
Treatments must be taken within 5 days of testing positive and when symptoms begin to be effective and work well. Seek treatment while your symptoms are still mild, do not wait for your symptoms to get worse.

So if you start feeling a runny nose, cough, or generally not like yourself, act fast and take a COVID test. And if you test positive, seek treatment right away.

Remember – if you test and treat, you can beat COVID-19!
